On the straight and narrow path, there are simply no corners to be cut.

We can learn that at the center of our agency is our freedom to form a healthy attitude toward whatever circumstances we are placed in! Those, for instance, who stretch themselves in service- though laced with limiting diseases-are often the healthiest among us! The Spirit can drive the flesh beyond where the body first agrees to go!

In Gospel grammar, death is not an exclamation point, merely a comma.

Of all the errors one could make, God's gospel plan is the wrong thing to be wrong about.

We are so busy constantly checking our own temperatures, we fail to notice the burning fevers of others.

Our goals should stretch us bit by bit. So often when we think we have encountered a ceiling, it is really a psychological or experimental barrier that we have built ourselves. We built it and we can remove it. Just as correct principles, when applied, carry their own witness that they are true, so do correct personal improvement programs. But we must not expect personal improvement without pain or some 'remodeling.' We can't expect to have the thrills of revealed religion without the theology. We cannot expect to have the soul stretching without Christian service.

In contrast to the path of selfishness, there is no room for road rage on the straight and narrow way.
